HOLDER FOR TICKETS, 800.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 382,823,dated May 15,1888. Application filed April 6, 1886. Serial No, 198,012. (No model.) Patented in England March 17,1886, No. 3,766.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ERNST MiiGEL, of the city of Dresden, in the Kingdom of Saxony and German Empire, have invented certain new and'useful Improvements in Holders for Tickets and other Similar Objects, (for which a patent was applied for in England on the 17th March, 1886, No. 3,766,) of which I declare the following to be a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in holders for tickets and other similar objects, the object of which is to provide a handy holder for such said articles and thus prevent the loss or mislaying of the same, which is in so many cases the cause of great inconvenience and often expense.

My said improved ticket-holder can be readily applied to various objects in daily usesuch as umbrellas, walking sticks, watch: chains, bracelets, and other articles.

My said invention consists, chiefly, of two plates, at a, Figures 6, 7, and 8, connected by a.

suitable hinge or joint, 0, the one surface of one of the said plates being provided with ribs, teeth, or pins 8, whilethe corresponding surface of the second plate is provided with corresponding recesses, borings, openings, or recessed studs, 1). The spring-action of the hinge or joint 0 will cause the pins or teeth '8 to perforate the ticket and hold the same firmly in the said holder. The two said plates a a are held in closed position by means of the nose not the catch or'rodb, which passes through an opening of the plate a, against the end of which the spring 9 presses. If pressure is exerted on the knob and the power of the spring g overcome, the nose n will be released and the upper plate, c,caused to spring open by the springf, wound around the hinge c. v

As represented in Figs. land 2, the ticketholder is arranged in the interior of the handie of a stick. The pins or pointed pegs s, which hold the ticket in the slot b, are attached to the spring-plate f. The said pins are released from the ticket by drawing up the plate f, by pulling out the knob c, or by turning the handle 01, provided with a suitable cam or t-appet, whereby the plate e,which operates on the plate f, is raised.

As represented in Fig. 3, the ticket-holder is so constructed that the pin 8 for holding the ticket contains a recess for receiving the nose of the plate f.

Fig. 1 represents a vertical, Fig. 6 a hori- N or umbrella.

the needle, pin,

" zontal', arrangement of a ticket-holder in the handle of a stickor umbrella, which, if hollow, can be employed as reservoir or receptacle for various objects. In such case the one of the edges is provided with suitable pins, points, or teeth, which gear into corresponding holes or recesses of the corresponding other edge, so that when the said holder is closed the ticket is perforated and held perfectlyvfast by the said edges of the ticketholder.

According to the modifications, as shown in Figs. 6,7, and 8, the ticket-holder is attached to g i a walking-stick or umbrella-handle by means of two strips of metal which are riveted to the plate a,'pass through a. slot in the stick or handle, and are then bent one to and one to the right, so as to embrace the said stick or handle in the form of a ring.

Fig. 4 represents a ticket-holder with the mechanism arranged in'the handle of a stick If the nose 1?. of the pin a,which is pressed upward by the spring f, is released, or stem b will be pressedback by the spring g and the slot 0 given free, so that the ticket can be inscrte'd'in the said slot the left 7 0. It the knob d of the pin b is now pressed in, the nose n will gear with the upper part the pin b, and-thus securely held in the slot 0. A similar arrangement is represented in Fig. 5, in which the two plates are notconnected by means of a hinge, as described above, but the one plate, p, isattached to the stick or umbrella-handle by means of a hollow rod, in which the rod 0 of the platep is movably located. If the plate 19 is pressed toward the plate 10', the spring y will be compressedand will be retained in position by means of the nose 1?. of the stem or rod a, attached to the loose plate 0.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of'my invention and in what manner the same is to be carried into eEect, I declare that what I claim is- In a ticket-holder, the combination of the stick a with the handle d, tappet 6, spring f, the slot I), pins or pegs s, and the knob a, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in'prescnce of two subscribing wit-- ERNST lvroenn.
